Colorado College Football Player Beats Lesbian in Homophobic Assault Outside Bar: VIDEO

Shane Williams (below, right), a football player at Colorado Mesa University, beat Chelsea Gallagher after she and her girlfriend Ashley got into an argument with Williams and another man at a bar in Grand Junction, Colorado. The attack occurred because Gallagher is a lesbian, NBC 11 reports:

"Going outside to leave, is when they started kind of making comments about us being gay and saying that Ashley looked like a boy and stuff," said Gallagher.

And that's the last thing she remembers. She apparently has no memory of the 15 minutes before and after she regained consciousness from her head injury.

Gallagher's girlfriend said it began with anti-gay slurs against the couple and two friends.

"I got kind of testy with him as well. It started out as just an argument," said Davis.

Davis said a man named Dakota was yelling homophobic slurs at the four women. "Me and Dakota ended up in a little bit of a scuffle, some pushing and what not,” said Davis. “I guess he had me in a head lock, and at this time I think Chelsea was trying to break us up."

That's when witnesses said Shane Williams got physical.

"My roommate said that he picked me up by the waste and slammed me down on the ground."

The alleged attack resulted in a fractured skull, bleeding from the ear and an extended stay at the ICU for Gallagher.

Williams was arrested Friday on suspicion of second degree assault, possessing a fake ID and underage drinking, but is now out on bond.

She was obviously trying to turn all the straight girls in Colorado into lesbians so she could have sex with them and then he couldn't. He was threatened by her. It was clearly self-defense on his part because he wants to perpetuate the human race and her actions would bring it to a dead halt. So it's clearly her fault.

I think I should run for office as a Republican now.

So much is going on here... what boggles my mind is the 1 lesbian inadvertently saying the guy didn't "really mean to be so abusive?" Even if that's true, why are you trying to help him? Your friend, who is a small girl, was body slammed by a college football player?!?! The only thing that should be coming out of your mouth is this guy is a psycho and should be put down like a dog. Blood streaming from the ears is not good, and who knows how it will affect her down the road?

Also, dear sweet lesbians, stop trying to fight men. Pick your battles. Unless you're in a lesbian bar and have reinforcements, keep your mouth shut at 2:00 AM when straight guys are their most volatile. "If we bleed, we do not win, ya dig?"

Yeah, Jason C. The comments regarding this story on the local Grand Junction news sites have been sad to read. Then again-------it's Grand Junction, Colorado. Not exactly a surprise to see such ignorance.

Hopefully Chelsea recovers fully from her severe injuries and recovers emotionally from this horrific assault. As for Mr. Williams, the option of beating up petite women in prison certainly won't be an option for him. Hopefully the shoe is on the other foot behind bars and the punk Mr. Williams gets EXACTLY what he deserves.

This is sick and I hope Chelsea is better. As for Shane Williams, not very smart....dumb dumb dumb the way he reacted. Punishable? Hell Yes

Big bad football players picking on girls. Oh, their mothers must be soooo proud.

So you're allowed to nearly kill someone, and because they survive their injuries and actually live, he gets out on bond?

BS. A near fatal attack is still the same act regardless of outcome. If she died he'd still be sitting in that jail cell.

This makes me so angry! The bastard should be castrated!

It is not okay to hit a gay person, male or female. It's even less okay to pick a person up by the 'waste'.

Anybody want to bet that he gets a minimal sentence? "Boys will be boys," as they say, and/or "he was doing God's will" because "homosexuality is an abomination."

My best wishes to Chelsea. Unfortunately, I'm not optimistic about the case for her.

He's out on bond!!! WTF? He can wait with Jerry Sandusky to go to trial and then prison. Apparently when you do highly illegal things in this society you get to be released on bond and wait several months before anything happens.

@FIX IT AGAIN TONY I think he'll get a strong sentence. It is Colorado, but she is a female. If it was male on male gay bashing it would have been less unfortunately. He's going to prison for several years.

Add this to the list of reasons why indentured servitude should be reinstated as a form of punishment. At least then the a'hole'd be doing something useful!

@Joey, @Mike

I agree that this is a nasty crime if the facts bear out, but keep in mind that bail is not a measurement of the seriousness of the crime. It's used as a way to help guarantee that the suspect shows up to future hearings. Because of this guy's ties to the university, maybe to the area, etc., he might not be considered that much of a flight risk.

Not to be a quibbler, but there is an actual "Colorado College" (private lib arts in Colorado Spgs--think Beloit w/ skiing). The headline is misleading as my immediate reaction was "Huh? A CC football player did that? weird." Then I read further to see that the student was actually from Mesa in Grand Junction. Maybe a small point, but imagine the same head as "New York University Student Strangles Kittens" only to read on that the offender attends SUNY Oswego or summat.
